Title: How do people perceive you?
Post by: GhostTown11 on July 06, 2012, 04:36:07 PM
Not physically, personality-wise.

I get: ditzy, clumsy, detached, and nonchalant (see Mary Louise Parker in Weeds) most often.

Depends how well they know me, I guess, but I prefer to let those doing the perceiving answer something like this.

Goofy awkward/cuteness, or general silliness, or light stupidity, or forgetfulness/clumsiness.

Intelligent, Eccentric, Enigmatic.

Those who've gotten close enough to me to see my real personality might also say.

Vindictive, Capricious, Incomprehensibly Alien. (In a dark intimidating manner)

Depends on who you ask, I guess.

I have been called a-know-it-all, narcissistic, stand-off-ish, shy, and smart arse.  But then again the are the people who never got to know me.

With friends I tend to get kind, caring, generous, patient ???, and fun
With anyone else, I have absolutely no idea (so perhaps oblivious?)

I added in boring too:)    And really, there are more than a few that see me as sort of weird, mostly the ones I growl at or have seen me hop around in the store or jumping from one parking bumper to the other while I'm outside smoking. But the main thing people notice is the really nice part, I get comments on that a lot along with comments to my boss as well.

Kind and intelligent with extremely good taste in everything.  Also very reserved and private.

Shy, fiercely independent, intelligent, creative, academic, eccentric and nice to a fault. All of which I'd disagree with bar "shy" and perhaps "eccentric", though the latter does tend to imply that I'm a good deal more interesting than I am. :'D I'm not independent; I'm just so shy and reserved that it often seems like I like being alone. I'm not particularly intelligent; the things I do better than my peers, I do better because I've been at them a whole lot longer. I'm not creative; it's been at least two years since I wrote or composed anything. I'm not academic; I struggle with academic writing, and feel much more at home in silly pop culture-y stuff. And I'm not especially nice; I'm just quiet enough that people don't tend to see my nasty side.

What I am though, is very lucky and very grateful that I have friends who love me and care about me enough to see all these wonderful things in me that aren't really there. ;)

Clumsy, slow, perfectionist, oblivious, smart but slow-brained, weird, distracted, naive... Something like that?

From what my wife and friends have heard.


Intelligent, parasitic (but this is not true), honest, stubborn, insensitive (dont know why because I am extremely sensitive), not straight forward but talks in riddles, weird.


This is from people that doesnt know me that well.


From my friends and Wife it goes like this : Stubborn (not always in a good way) ,sensitive, understanding, easy to be with and talk to, honest, egocentric, a bit melodramatic, nice, funny, special (like one of a kind).

creative, clever, arrogant, impatient, observant, shy, fragile, diplomatic, harsh, sarcastic, empathic, sweet, melodramatic and "you swear too much."

My sister sums me up as "brat." I'd say that's fairly accurate. :P

Cute question.  Generally speaking, I believe that people tend to see me as pretty and sexy, mysterious, capable, extremely intelligent, slightly dangerous, infinitely fascinating, quiet, private, well spoken, honest yet diplomatic, sweet, friendly, funny, highly skilled, deep, spiritual and wildly worldly.  In my life, I have had a tendency to attract lots of people who want to shield and protect me from all the dangers of the world; I believe that people tend to see me as precious, fragile, and a lot less tough than I pretend to be.  I'm a total charmer and a princess... and everyone knows it.
